I suggest you save your money and treat yourself to a nice meal and drinks at a sit-down restaurant before your flight.
Then, use the extra cash to pre-order a nice cheese platter for yourself and a special meal for your kids onboard.
These days, the food in most airport lounges isn’t much better than what you’d find in a food court.
As someone who travels for business often, I’ve stopped bothering with lounges because they’re expensive, crowded, and, no offense, full of kids.
I used to enjoy the quiet atmosphere to get work done, but now they feel like cheap buffets in Vegas.
Especially the lounges by American and United are pretty average.
